Cris Carter to rookies "Have a fall guy in your crew"

[Longboysfan]

Idiots need fall guys.

Seems like they are saying if you're an Idiot - have another Idiot to take the blame.

If you are going to be gunowner and carry a gun it is on you to know the laws everywhere you intend to carry.

I typically am against illegal laws....but thats me.

I used to think the US Constitution was the law of the land; but with the way the Supreme Court has ruled recently, I'm not sure I know the distinction.... but that's me.

Carrying without a holster is negligence plain and simple, carrying without a holster in sweat pants is just plain dumb

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

Its actually pretty good advice.

No accountability to start your professional life.... Your "manhood" ?

Sounds like punk/thug advice.

I commit several traffic violations every time I drive.

I break the speed limit routinely
I rarely use my seat belt
I talk on my cell phone

But I also drive defensively and haven't been in an accident in 25 years

But I still can't think of 3 felonies that average American is committing every day and none of those links provided any examples

Just Carter and Sapp? No Jerry Rice on how to get yourself out of a prostitution sting in Mountain View of all places?

I know many states have old laws on the books that are technically arrestable offenses but the laws are so old no one enforces them. Most states have very conservative laws pertaining to sex that are as old as the country and most people are guilty of violating those clauses. the link below are some stupid laws that can get you fined or jailed and still on the books.

I had to laugh at that one video was linked where the guy explains the fish interpreted as documents being destroyed due to the Enron fiasco. That really was some next level convoluted BS.

Who cares. Does the Rookie Symposium do any good for knuckleheads anyways?

I don't know about felonies, but there are tons of unenforced stupid laws in every state

click on a few states, but this is besides the point, these aren't the laws that get athletes in trouble.

You should follow me around.

I couldn't keep up......

Just flash your headlights and I'll slow down some.

 

[dwreck27]

How is that even allowed to be talked out loud about lol

Seriously Carter is such a joke and will get his job yanked soon when he again sticks his foot in his mouth

 

[DandyDon52]

chris should lose his job over that statement ! and he has no fall guy !!

 

[CyberB0b]

Worked out great for Ray Lewis. Killed 2 guys, tampered with evidence, paid off the victim's families and had his boys take the fall.

 

[JohnsKey19]

It happens in corporate America every day. Mistakes are made, in a lot of cases law-breaking mistakes, and a peon in a huge corporation either agrees or is coerced into taking the hit to protect the well-being of those in authority.

I do agree that Carter's decision to introduce this mentality at a rookie symposium was poor. As was his delivery of the message given the audience.

 

[EST_1986]

How about telling them not to break the law instead of having someone else pay for their crimes? He's making a mockery of the justice system.

The justice system is pretty much a mockery anyway

That wasn't the Ray Lewis case at all.
